'Calm down, Ryan. Think about the stats.'
The soft sensation he felt against his back gradually pressed closer to him. Even though that sensation was separated by the towel’s fabric, the absurdity of the situation made him extremely uneasy.
“You’re a pervert,” Helen complained, her voice trembling.
Ryan could hear her breathing, while he himself was barely breathing at all. He held still as best as he could to avoid increasing the contact of Helen’s chest against his back.
'What kind of order is this? Is it because of what I thought before entering the bath?'
From holding his breath for so long, Ryan’s body began to tremble. The movement caused even more pressure from Helen’s chest.
“Ah…” she let out a soft moan.
“Hey, don’t make weird sounds!” Ryan finally exhaled deeply and began breathing again. “I-I’d better get out of here.”
Ryan tried to step out of the water, but Helen grabbed him by the waist, pulling him back into the pool.
“Be quiet. I just need to… wash your back, right?”
'Is that really all?'
Ryan remained motionless, still not daring to look back. Helen moved her chest away from his back and began scrubbing his back with her hands.
“But how did I end up in this situation…?” Ryan muttered.
“Stop complaining. You’re the pervert. I should be the one complaining.”
After finishing that sentence, she smacked his back, leaving a red mark. Ryan complained and turned toward her.
“Hey, don’t look at me!” She covered Ryan’s eyes with both hands, but the careless movement caused her towel to come loose.
“Kyaaaaaaaa!” Helen screamed, blushing intensely. When she grabbed the edges of the towel, her bare chest was left exposed right in front of Ryan’s face.
“Don’t look!”
Ryan blushed even more. But he could not look away. Large, very white, and at the center of them, a bright pink color that drew all of his attention.
“I can finally move freely!” Helen shouted and ran out of the pool. She disappeared from Ryan’s sight.

'What the hell was that? That bug is insane…'
Ryan took a deep breath.

“Stat.”

“I have 120 points… I wonder what I should spend them on. Although originally, the debt skill shouldn’t even exist, much less grant me points. This character’s job should only be to serve as support.”
Ryan reflected for a moment, carefully observing the stats. Of course, he knew how to play an RPG, but playing one and being inside one were completely different things.
That made him hesitate about the best way to distribute his points. If he only gained points through the debt system, it would be a problem to spend them carelessly.
After thinking it through, he decided not to use them for now. He stepped out of the pool with a calmer mind, changed his clothes, and walked into the main room where Helen and Mirian were. When Helen saw him come out, she turned her gaze away, blushing.
“Finished?” Mirian asked.
“Yes. You can go in now if you want.”
'But before that, there’s something I want to test.'
“Inspect,” he muttered.

'Her attributes are insane. She could kill me in a single hit. And after level 110 she reaches Rank SS, right?'
“What? What’s wrong, Ryan? Why are you staring at me so much? Just forget what happened in the bath,” Helen grumbled.
“Ju, ju, ju. And what exactly happened in the bath?” Mirian asked suspiciously.
“Ah, just shut up! I’m going to bathe,” she said sharply and walked toward the bathroom.
“Yeah, that figures.” Ryan looked at Mirian and repeated the phrase to check her stats.
“Inspect.”

“Wow, you two have absolutely no luck,” he muttered.
“I didn’t hear what you said.”
“Don’t worry about it. Aren’t you going with Helen?”
“Yep. I’ll go bathe too.”
After saying that, she went straight to the bathroom. Ryan sat down in the main room on a white stone chair. It was quite comfortable.
'So this is a shelter for defeating the boss of the last floor. I wonder if more heroes come here. But after checking their stats, I know I need to strengthen myself and level up.'
“Stat.”

“For now, I’ll give the 120 points to Stamina.”
When Ryan looked directly at the stat points option, a plus sign appeared next to each stat.
He placed his finger on the plus sign and pressed until the 120 stat points disappeared. They had all been applied to Stamina.
